Overview

A mid-market financial services firm had cloud spend growing without clear accountability or cost attribution. The work established a FinOps operating model with real-time cost visibility dashboards, automated rightsizing recommendations, reserved instance management, and policy-driven guardrails across 500+ cloud resources spanning development, staging, and production.

The Challenge

The firm's cloud spend had grown 60% year over year with no clear accountability or cost attribution. Engineering teams provisioned resources without visibility into spending impact, reserved instances were underutilized, and idle resources accumulated across environments. Finance and engineering operated in silos, with monthly billing surprises eroding trust and making budget forecasting unreliable.

The Solution

The FinOps platform was anchored by CloudHealth for cost management and Grafana for visualization. Automated rightsizing pipelines built in Python and Lambda analyzed resource utilization continuously and surfaced optimization recommendations. Terraform modules enforced tagging policies and cost allocation standards, scheduled functions flagged idle resources for review, and a weekly review cadence brought engineering leads and finance stakeholders together.
